Outbound truck traffic is intense at some of the checkpoints on Bulgaria’s border with Romania, the Border Police said on their website. The information is valid as at 6 a.m. Monday morning.

There is busy traffic for trucks exiting this country through the Durankulak and Kardam checkpoints. Temporary traffic changes have been introduced across Danube Bridge at Ruse due to major repairs on the Bulgarian section of the bridge. Traffic is carried out in one lane and is regulated by traffic lights, the Bulgarian border police recalled. Alternative routes can go through the checkpoints at Silistra, Kardam, Durankulak, Kaynardzha, or Krushari. The latter two have working hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day and are closed for commercial trucks.

Traffic is also normal at all checkpoints at the borders with Serbia, the Republic of North Macedonia, Greece and Turkiye. 

On 26 August, the implementation of activities under a contract related to the construction of the EU Entry/Exit System started at the Gyueshevo border checkpoint, the Border Police recalled. The border control booths of the passing trucks will be removed and replaced with new ones. Temporarily, the truck traffic will be redirected through the car routes. Some difficulties may arise when crossing at the Gyuesevo border checkpoint.
